it's so weird..you unsticky the thread, and I feel something because of it. Something very real. It's really sad, you know?

It is sad to see it start to recede. It struck a chord in me that is sadder now that the truth of it all is facing me: Life goes on and waits for noone. We must move on. Our feelings will fade along with this thread, but such is life.

You did the right thing, Ripple!
I've been writing about death a lot in my personal journal. Not with pain, tho. Just kind of working it out for myself I guess. I hope that Dreamer is happy wherever he is. If he is. I hope all the pain he held onto in life is released. I hope is soul is free and full of joy. I hope he knows how precious his life was, not just to himself...but for his family, and his friends too.
Dream on, Dreamer.

Thank you guys,
It's times like this that I really reflect on how much I love this community and how close I feel to the people I've had the privilege to hang out with and get to know better.
This thread will fade away, but I hope we're together for a long time to come.
Shine on and much love.

I'd been working on a poem all day today. I thought it was about myself. In the opening line, I addressed myself as "dreamer," and while on LSD tonight at Alex Grey's gallery with some very good people, I opened my journal and stumbled through a block I had hit in the writing. And that's when I realized I wasn't writing about myself, or love, like I thought that I had been...no, I was writing about Dreamer. So I just wanted to post this:
dreamer
tell me, dreamer what will you do if serendipity turns its back to you? you've read the novels, heard the music of chance, and your mind is awake to the synchronous dance of the patterns and threads in the fabric of breath; but what if the end doesn't match your intent? it's just a hop and a skip from a leap of faith down the oubliette.....
(gone, but not forgotten)
the universe is built for our minds to hold our memories bring you back into the fold the door never closes death is nothing but a hallway to another crowded room where a flurry of voices carry choral tunes and through the pinpoint we drift to you and bring you back around the fire singing songs til dawn arises; this heavy life does make us tired..

Was thinking hard on death last night. I'm glad to be alive.

The thought of death has been consuming me lately in an unhealthy way.

:-(
R.I.P You friendly friendly person.
At least for me, his death will act as a constant reminder never to touch Heroin.
My deepest condolences to everyone missing him.
*remembrance toke*
edit - i'm so sorry doobie :-(
-------------------- God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about himself. He is a very vengeful God. He's all pissed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes. Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Why does God give us anything? Look at it this way: if you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop. Then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, it would have nothin' to cry about. That's like God, who gives us life and love and help just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, it's our tears, Stan, that give God his great power.

wasnt around here when he was but its amazing how a community like this could be so tight knit that the death of 1 person affects so many. it really makes me appreciate my part in this community, my condolences go out to those who knew him on this day.
